Dolphin Point market and investor summary
In Dolphin Point, NSW 2539, houses show a gross rental yield of 2.7%. At 2.1% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.7% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Houses also take time to sell, around 101 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Dolphin Point: people, income and schools
Dolphin Point is home to around 354 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 47, it reads as skewed a little older, and 84% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $77,000 a year (about $1,490 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (3 out of 10). Locally, around 34% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
There is 1 school within about 5km, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 6 for walkability out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Premises.
